This is a photograph of a diorama that I built. The image is a composite of the bedroom window where I grew up and a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's film Marnie.
A counter-clockwise route around the island with a particular schedule to stick to. Timing is everything when you deal with the tides. I didn't do this circumnavigation but I did last year and you get a really amazing perspective of Manhattan from the water. I highly recommend it!
